They are likely both just cache issues, I would assume they will fix themselves in a while by just using the forum normally (as in, you'll need to mark them as read, and then it won't fuck up anymore, hopefully). Unfortunately the new threads/posts feature of phpbb is kinda iffy on its own.

Or put the actual Quickening and PE forums up there while they're active. I mean, if that's where IC4 is, why not the other Org-supported contests? The shortcuts are okay, but they don't reflect new posts so you end up scrolling down anyway.

Yup, thus my suggestion. I always check for the oranges down there anyway.

IMHO, it's okay as is. The links at the top are more like "endorsed advertising" right now, and they're not really hurting anything. Besides, moving whole forums could end up causing more issues than it would solve.

Yeah, that's the downside to the redirect links. The reason IC4 wasn't brought into OSC is because it was already well underway when OSC was made, and moving a very active forum (at the time) to be a new subforum of a new section didn't sound like a good idea.

Perhaps we can give new events some time with a redirect link up top (say, a month or two) to help the sign-up and initial rounds, and then rely on people looking at the subforum list for OSC.
